Luna's tweet sparks much controversy

J

AKARTA: Having channeled her anger through her Twitter account, TV show host-cum-soap opera actress Luna Maya has now been reported to the police for defamation.

Late on Thursday, Kamsal Hasan, head of the Jakarta chapter of the Indonesian Journalists Association representing infotainment journalists reported Luna to the Jakarta City Police, entertainment news portal detikhot.com stated.

Luna allegedly defamed infotainment journalists by posting a comment in her Twitter account on Tuesday, calling infotainment journalists lower than commercial sex workers and murderers. As of Wednesday morning, her Twitter account was no longer accessible.

News portal Okezone.com reported that Luna had been angered by infotainment journalists after an incident in one of Central Jakarta's mall, where one of the journalists' camera hit the head of Aleia, the daughter of Peter Pan's vocalist Ariel who had accompanied her that night. - JP
